Hey everyone,
I have 3 doubts:
1) Saving a mesh or object from VoxTree in 3b format. Can this 3b object keep all the work done on layers of sculpture related to it?
In the test I did, the 3B file does not save sculpt layers relating to the mesh of the VoxTree layer that I saved in .3b when I import this .3b file. With you, do the same thing happen?
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) I was thinking of separating objects from VoxTree (dismember the project into mini projects) where the main file could be lighter and smaller ( just a container for the mini files .3b files that are part of the same project ). An example would be a sculpture of a character. I separated in the Vox tree :
* Character Container
|_ character mesh
|_ Clothes
|_ Accessories. I would like to do something similar to what happens in the Blender program. Having a main file and in it I would use the Append or Link method as needed. When I worked on a 3b mesh and saved, it would automatically modify file 3b. and in the main project this file would be updated and modified. Could I do something like that?
-------------------------------------------------------
3) You could kindly indicate to me an open source or free program so that I can fully organize myself in my private projects in the sense of task and asset management, calendar and etc (preferably it is just a single program for better usability). The program I was testing was Redmine, but it's complicated in upgrades and stuff. I also saw an opensource program called Tactic, but I did not understand anything, very complicated and I did not find any video that would explain the running beginner users like me.
thank you

Hey guys, so I'm still new to 3D coat, and I must have pushed something, since the transform tool, the large outer ring of the gizmo is gone as well as the middle scaling option, and I can't seem to figure out how to bring it back. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

Hi! I've used 3D coat in the past and when importing a model and scaling it to voxel it with better resolution, it asked if I wanted to keep the initial scale and position. I'm currently trying 3DCPrinting and after merging my models together, when I export, and upload in other programs, the scale is all messed up ( Since I've scaled it up to have better voxel resolution). Is there a way to export the model with the initial scales like in 3D Coat ? Thanks

Hello. I've been having a major issue with 3D Coat. Up until recently the program worked fine, but now whenever I try to start up the program, it won't start. Every time I start it up, I can only make it to the splash screen before I get a message telling me the program stopped working. I've tried nearly everything I could think of that might help. I've tried installing the latest version, updating my drivers, installing the 32 bit version, deleting the options.xml files (I've read in other forums that doing this may help sometimes). Deleting old 3D Coat folders and re-installing, restarting my computer, trying to run both the DX and the OpenGL versions, and running the program as an administrator. Nothing seems to work.The only thing I haven't tried is resetting the PC in an attempt to fix any corrupted registry files. I'd rather not have to do that if I can (I even tried using CCleaner's registry cleaner to see if that would help with any corrupted registry files) Does anyone know how I could solve this? Thank you in advance for any help.

Hey everyone,
This is thread to follow the development of a project that I have been developing called Gladiotron. It is an original project and hopefully the first of many. My pipeline consists primarily of Blender and 3D Coat, with some other applications for authoring PBR textures and then ending up in Unity. Our target platform is PC and Console initially, then possibly mobile afterwards.
I have a few goals with this project.
1. To engage the 3d Coat and Blender communites
2. To share development progress on the art assets and the game
3. To work with the 3D Coat team in a similar way to the way the Blender Foundation creates film projects to drive the development of the application

Hello all. I've been running a youtube stream which is for entry level users, and I invite you all to drop by at 7.00pm GMT on Friday 5th Jan 2018 if you want to ask about what I'm doing. Or help me do what I'm doing (you know what 3d Coat can be like sometimes lol).
The modelling is in parts 1 & 2, this coming stream is part 3. I am making a coffin (as you do) and this stream deals with retopo, UVs and painting the models.
Cheers
Ron.

Hello team! I'm hoping you can help.
Using 3D Coat with a Surface Studio, and I am having some issues with the stylus.
When I am in the Paint room, the stylus tumbles/rotates the view, instead of painting, and holding down the switch on the side for RMB, it paints sort of. However, when I use the LMB on the mouse it works, and can navigate the viewport normally.
Any indication what I'm doing? Does this in both DX and GL version of the app.

Hello, everyone! Recently I did a test with Octane Render on the 11 GPUs on our renderfarm and I decided to recreate this cute animal which I created in 2016 =) So enjoy =)
This is clean render from Octane without any postwork.
Hedgehog modeling and sculpting - 3dCoat
Fur and needles - Ornatrix plugin
Grass - Forest Pack
Render - Octane
Hope you liked it!
History of this image:
Once lying on a sun lounger and reading a book - I heard a loud clatter and rustling in the bushes =) And it was all accompanied by a loud champing, and the dog didn't understand - where her food disappeared. I looked into the bushes - and there is a cute hedgehog here, so sweet and champing. All the food was stolen from my doggie =) Inspired by everything that was happening - I created this hedgehog. I created the first version in 2016

I have some huge problems with the default Document folder (C:\Users\XXX\Documents\3D-CoatV47). I added some Alpha Textures and the folder is about to explode. The Texture Folder alone is about 50GB! 3d Coat is converting the textures in his own format, as I recognised. But a Alpha texture is about 130 MB. Are you serious? The original PSD file is about 8 MB.
Is there a way to store brush alphas on a different drive to have a better time managing the Texture Folder.
Thx.

Hello, I'm new to 3d coat and i've been doing some retopology to my head mesh which i've imported from my scanner.
while doing the retopology I used the symetry option and when i've unwrapped it it was just half of the face and when I tried to export it to blender it was the same.
what should i do in order to get a full head unwraped either in 3d coat or blender? does it have to do with using symetry? if it does how can i avoid it and still not retopology the all mesh by hand?
would appreciate any advice .
Thank you.

Hi guys! I have a project I am working on and the bit I have gotten to now is really making my head hurt haha!
So I am trying to make terrain pieces that can fit together side by side and be seamless and flow from one to the other. The idea is that I can sculpt a number of pieces and they can be used multiple times in different positions and rotations to create a potentially infinite number of terrain boards.
http://i.imgur.com/NGRCrqg.jpg
That is my rough concept where there are pieces like straight rivers, curved rivers, rivers with crossings, cliffs, cliff corners inner and outer, cliffs with slopes, lakes and grass plains and they can then be used multiple times to create varied landscapes.
My issue is that I am unsure how to make them tileable! Ideally I am looking for a way of sculpting a perfectly square mesh that repeats at the edges so each module can fit next to another module with relative ease. I have tried doing it via photoshop creating heightmaps but the results are not great and it takes far too long to make a heightmap by hand, with detail without having a reference as to what it looks like when applied to a model.
I would appreciate any help that I can get with the matter! I am struggling!
Thank you!

Hi everyone, a new user is here! love 3D Coat!
So I wanted to try new brushes and materials in download section, and they are like 15 GB! after I unzip them, and boy I don't have that space in my C drive, so I moved them to my external hard drive and created a shortcut and pasted it to my document where 3d coat textures and patterns are, but unfortunately 3D Coat is not reading it, it only reads when I paste the actual file, not the shortcut version, is there anyway to make this work? I learned this trick working with Zbrush, it would be nice if we can do this in 3D Coat as well! if not I can't use these awesome brushes I don't have enough space!
The below image shows the shortcut version where didn't work and the actual file which works!
tnx.

I've been having a problem with the transform tool, in the Sculpt room.
Whenever I put more than one mesh objects and use the transform tool, it is "focused" on both of them.
How am I able to get it "focused" on one mesh object, rather than two mesh objects.
Please respond ASAP, thank you!
